 Hello everyone, I am Sira Satish Kumar, Consultant Clinical Psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry in Manipal Hospital, Spangler. Discussing about stress in the current world is something that almost swallows a person. From the time we wake up in the morning, from the time we reach office, work, go back home, plan for tomorrow, know what to do, know what to achieve, there is constant planning and organizing and scheduling going. It so happens that people spend hours together in travel. So traffic has become one of the most stressful situations for most people, which even induces panic disorder in few people. There are people with claustrophobia and that is due to the traffic sitting in a car for long hours. So anxiety spectrum has seen to be an increased note because of the stress especially with the traffic. Now talking about today's world and the stress associated with the person in today's world, a person has a lot of targets to achieve right from taking care of the family, taking care of children, acquiring money for their future and securing a job and taking care of the security part in a job and coming home and giving all the luxury and every security to the family members and working in the office, completing your targets. So there is lot to do for a person and the most dangerous thing in this is how the person is doing everything but simply forgetting a person's health. A person just works and works but never does any kind of exercise just because there is lack of time and getting into maladaptive lifestyle which includes substance abuse, which includes obesity because of overeating. So there is lot of maladaptive learning that is happening because of which there is no proper healthy lifestyle being followed and that is why today's stress is very dangerous which brings new lifestyle diseases that is being researched and brought by many researchers.
